GUHBE EGR ROLLING-MILLS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application fdcd September 2G, 1916. Serial No. 122,225.

To all' weom may' @enseres le it known that l, lid/WALTER W. LEUK, a citizen of the lflnited States, residing at Steelton, in vthe County of Dauphin and State of lennsylvania, lieve invented eertain new and useful.l improvements in fluides for llollinpylliills, of which the following is a speciiication.,

My invention consists of an improvement' in guides or manipulator side guards for rolling mills, particularly for ingot or billet rolls, and is designed to provide for poen tive :ilinement olil the billetwitli relation to tbe rolls and Feedine rollers, and to obvizite tbe possibility oi daumgggeY due to interference.

(lrdinarily, au ingot or billet is guided to or from the rolls by laterally arranged guide ror side guard bers which frequently .obstruct or interfere with the ingot by endwise accidental engagement, causing breakage and stoppage of the mill.

ln my improved guides this tendency is entirely obvieted by the novel construction and mounting oil. tbe `guides.

Ain lille drawings illustrating the invention:

liiggnre l is e perspective View showing portions of the guides in operative relev tion 'to tbe stand of rolls,

Figi' il is a similar enlarged View showing.; tin: ,guildes in detail, detacliei'l.

The rolls 2, 2, of, tbe mill are mounted in the usuel housingI ffl' at each side of which ere usuallynrr "ed the series of feed rollers l fl, jirel'ei jy positively driven, for feedingj lie ilanl, to and from the rolls, and inminted by their journals in u suitable ing; traine or table 5. l improved guides 6, G, in tbe iorin of rwtanfndar bers, or olE other suitable cross section are mounted longitudinally along and across the feed rollers at eaeli side of tbe pathway of the blank, as shown, and rest,

may loe moved laterally in either direction, or toward. or from each other.

The end portions ofthe bars (i are tapered down as indicated at l() and provided with terminal lips l1 which lit down over one of the lieed rollers Ll. By this construction the f f guides are provided with skid portions over which the ingot will ride without interference in the event of accidentally not rep;w istering' with the pass between the guide-s, as in cese of failure to shift them promptly or accurately, thus preventing any inten ference and resulting damage. The retaining lips 1l maintain the guides against lon ,qitudinal movement, sind insure against disjilzieement, while' facilitating the lateral shifting.

The guides are preferably provided with the skid portions at eaeli end, so es to prevent interference either with e new hot ingot 'in its passage towerd tbe rolls, or in its passage from the rolls outwardly in either direction, during rolling.,

What l claim is:

l. ln combination with reducing rolls, e pair ol laterally adjustable 'guide bars adapted for adjustment witli. relation to the pass of the rolls each having' e downwardly sloping terminal.

2. ln combination with reducing rolls, e pair of laterally adjustable guide bers adapted for adjustment with relation to the pass of the rolls each lmving :i downwardly sloping' terminal and a retaining lijf).

2l. ln combination 'with reducing rolls and a series of Jfeed rollers therefor, zi pair oi' laterally adjustable guide bers leid across the feed rollers euch having* its ter initial adjacent the* reducing rolls sloped downwardly for clearance of the article being' rolledn l 4. ln combination with reducing rolls and a series of feed rollers therefor, e pair ol laterally adjustable guide bars luid across the feed rollers each having: its opposite terminals sloped downwardly' for clear-mute ot` the article being' rolled.

5. ln combination with rei'luoin'g rolls and e series olf feed rollers therefor, a pair of laterally adjustable guide bars laid across the feed rollers earch having its terminal adjacent lllie reducing rolls sloped downwardly for. clearance of the article beingn rolled and provided with a downwardly extending1 repli-tainted Fell. 23?, i @ltr lzlternlly adjustable taining lip engaging over one of the feed rollers.

(3. In eombinzitil'in with reducing rolls an@ :1 series olf feed. rollers therefor, :i pair o guide bars lziid across the feed rollers each haring ifs terminal ud jacent the reducing rolls sloped downn'unlly for clearance of the article being rolled :md
